When Pork Loins went on sale for $1.99 a pound at Kroger recently, I snagged one to put in my freezer for Sunday dinner and company! There are several great things about serving a Pork Loin on Sunday after church -

They're delicious!

You can cook it on Saturday and just warm it up when you get home and it still tastes great!

It makes a savory gravy to serve on the meat and with potatoes

Because this cut of meat doesn't take long to cook, I prefer to cook it on Saturday so it doesn't dry out. The one I cooked was just under five pounds, so it took only an hour and a half at 350 degrees. I sliced it and put it on the platter, so all I had to to on Sunday was warm it up.

I found a new recipe that we LOVED. This is a marinade for the meat, which I did on Friday night. It's Dijon Mustard with pepper and Tarragon. I don't know why this makes it so delicious, I only know that it does!

To prepare sauce, combine cranberry sauce and remaining ingredients in a small saucepan; cook over medium heat 5 minutes or until thoroughly heated, stirring occasionally. Serve sauce with pork.

The Cranberry Sauce was wonderful with the meat!

The pan juices looked like chocolate and tasted even better when I made a gravy using it! Yummy!Let me give yo another tip I learned from my sweet friend, Sue. Warm your platters and bowls before putting the food into them. It will keep the food warm longer. I recently learned that my microwave has a plate warming setting! I just put the dishes in there for a couple minutes and it's perfectly warm to receive the hot food!Does your microwave have a plate warmer? Mine was on the "Reheat" setting. I hit "reheat" then 6. Voila! With love from my country kitchen,

About Me

Being a helpmeet to my husband is my first calling, given to me by the Creator of the family. I count it an honor to have served with him in the ministry these past 32 years. Though I didn't grow up in a "ministry" home, I grew up in a godly home where I accepted Christ as my Savior as a child. I watched my parents model love for Christ before me and I learned to love being in God's house and serving there. I love working in the ladies' ministry at BCBC and desire to help women understand, through the teaching of God's Word, their biblical role and find joy in obeying it.
